Windows assumes that all programs are installed on the C drive. Even if you have a second drive and ask for the program to be installed on drive D, it will still install parts of the program on drive C including registry setting.
If you have installed a C drive from another computer then it is not considered to be the C drive as there is one already installed.

Did YOU install these two hard drives yourself?
Possibly you have a RAID function going on and you just don't know about :)
RAID is when you have two hard drives, but they act as 1.
There different forms of RAID also but I'm just giving you a suggestion to your problem :)

If you purchased your computer from HP, Dell, Gateway, or other, it might be a your recovery partition.
